StumbleUpon Secrets

The situation with the internet is that the amount of information is astronomical and increasing daily. It is overwhelming to go looking for information online. You get a million responses to your search term.

What do you do? You know before you begin you will hit as many crappy pages as jewels. Social sites like StumbleUpon helps you narrow your search to sites that people you trust recommend. In return, they will learn to trust you.

The result, your traffic will grow.

Oh yes, that is why you are reading this article. You want to know how to pull in traffic.

The StumbleUpon toolbar lets readers give a webpage a thumbs up. The more thumbs up you get, the higher your page moves in the StumbleUpon delivery system.

Getting your page into the system is fairly simple (and free). You create an account at Stumbleupon.

Add as many users to your network and as many friends as you can. The more of these you have in your system the more thumbs up you will get.

There is some confusion about giving your own page a thumbs up. It's better not to do this. Focus on building a good network and finding other, like-minded, people who will (one hopes) give your page a thumbs up.

However, it is extremely important to create a public profile. You can tell the world who you are. And you can add your website link here.

Think of StumbleUpon as the ultimate viral marketing tool. If you have a friend who has 10 friends and each of them has 10 friends - well you get the picture. Soon your web page will be traveling via word of mouth to people who are interested in that topic.
